Jeffrey, 

Can you confirm that your setup has worked with Vista and Windows
mobile? 

I did find out that at least on two Vista machines, upgrading to SP1
solved the issue.

We have 1,300 + APs with a mix of 1131AGs, 1242s, and 1250s.  We
broadcast our SSIDs and one of them is using Layer 2 security WPA +
WPA2.  WPA is set for TKIP only and WPA2 is set for AES only.  We have
not had any problems even in limited 802.11n testing.  We are running
WCS 4.2.81.0 and WiSM 4.2.61.0

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] 802.11n and WPA/WPA2...

So, we've been testing 802.11n with a couple of Cisco 1250 radios. In
order to support it on our 802.1X/WPA/TKIP WLAN, we had to add WPA2 to
our layer 2 security parameters. So now we support either WPA or WPA2.
We are finding out that some systems don't like this. Specifically,
Windows Vista and Windows Mobile 5.0. We have tested this with
controllers running 4.2.130 and 4.2.61 and we get the same issue. Since
we don't want to broadcast another SSID, we decided to turn off WPA2 for
right now. 

Is anybody else experiencing this? If so, did you opt for broadcasting a
separate SSID with WPA2 only, and still keep your WPA SSID? Or did you
just decide to support WPA2 only? How about those using Aruba, Trapeze,
etc. are you having a similar issue with the combination of WPA/WPA2 in
the same WLAN?

Thanks,
